The party

She woke up. Apparently Aika fell asleep again at the end ...
"Tomorrow." said Xena, who has always been the first to wake up lately.
"You should come to training today, kakashi said ..."
Aika nodded tiredly and swung out of bed. She watched Xena eat and then they left.
Naruto and Sasuke were already there. "Hello." Xena greeted happily and planted herself on the ground.
"Xena? Kakashi should come any minute, why are you sitting down?"
Xena smiled at Aika's statement.
"He's always late, so Neji and Hinata aren't there yet." she said and smiled.
Half an hour later, Neji and Hinata came. Two hours later came Kakashi.
"Have you got lost on the path of life again?" Sasuke asked mockingly and Kakashi seemed to smile.
"Well, what should you do ..." he said and looked around.
"Nice to have everyone here. I have good news and not so good." his gaze grew serious.
"Well, there is a big party here on Wednesday, it is held every year in honor of the late Hokage ..." it was clear to everyone that this was the good news and everyone was eagerly awaiting the bad."And the bad thing is ..." Kakashi paused dramatically "... We have to help prepare ..." he said and gave a sardonic grin. At that moment, Xena could have kicked his ass.
"That was ALL?" shrieked Naruto.
"But they didn't have to torture us so much for that." said Aika, sounding a bit bored.
"So let's go." said Kakashi and marched ahead. The six teenagers follow him.
They put up tents, set up games. Aika, Xena and Hinata helped with the cooking. Because they didn't let Naruto into the kitchen.
Then another team arrived that had obviously been assigned to help.
"Hello, Aika!" called a voice. And a blonde girl ran up to her.
"How are you, looking good ... What are you looking at me so confused?" she paused.
"That's Ino ..." Hinata said quickly.
"Hello Ino." Aika also said very quickly and the situation slowly became embarrassing.
"Ino, go help there." said a voice from behind.When Ino said goodbye and ran away. The girls discovered Neji.
"Thanks." said Aika and looked him in the eye. He nodded and left.
"Leave it!" Xena hissed when he was gone.
"What?" Aika asked offended. "You can see how you turn him on ... just leave it." Xena said hostile.
"What? First, I don't poke at him. And second, I can poke at whoever I want!" Aika replied irritably.
"Not while he's there." Hinata said in between, pointing to Naruto, who was helping to set up a sausage stand across from them.
Aika sighed.
Xena didn't talk about it anymore.
Neither did Hinata and Aika liked that.
She didn't care how much he loved her. She just didn't love him, or she didn't love him anymore.
It turned out to be an exciting day. Ino just couldn't leave Aika alone until Sasuke ran by and she ran after him.
Xena glared after her.
"You don't languish at him, but you can tell." Aika giggled and Xena blushed slightly.Hinata giggled and grinned at Xena.
"Is that correct?" Xena asked Hinata in a low voice.
She nodded, still reluctant to snort.
Xena sighed.
"Never mind! He's just a pain in the ass, nothing else!"
The three looked at each other briefly, then laughed. Because it just wasn't true.
At least it wasn't for Xena.
It was fun and Aika got to know her friends better and better and liked them all very much. Except for Naruto, he was annoying, but it was tolerable.
He also had good sides, but unfortunately he didn't show enough of them.
On Tuesday evening the comrades sat on the fairground and looked at their work. It was already dark. But it was a bright night. Naruto wasn't there, he had caught a cold. Bad luck!
"It turned out quite well, right?" asked Hinata, looking around.
Everyone agreed with her.
"Are you going?" Sasuke then asked.
Hinata nodded. “Kiba invited me in.” Xena giggled.
And Hinata's face got a reddish touch.
Sasuke had to smile.
"Does Kiba spend a lot of time at your home?" he asked to Neji."He doesn't work anymore ..." Neji said and everyone had to laugh.
"And you?" Hinata asked when she had calmed down. Aika shrugged.
"Why should you?" she asked, looking at the stars.
"Because I invite you." said Neji and Aika suddenly looked forward again.
"And me?" Xena asked somewhat sympathetically.
"You are going with me." Sasuke said and didn't even look at her.
"That's great ... Then everyone will come." Hinata smiled. Sasuke nodded.
"We'll pick you up tomorrow at five." said Neji and Sasuke and he left at the same time.
When they were gone, Aika's stiffness dissolved.
"Did you actually ask us?" Xena asked confused.
"No." returned Aika.
"Hm ... now at least I know how to get an appointment without having to be afraid, the person says no. You don't even let him have a say ..." Xena said mockingly.
"You don't want to say now, you didn't want to ..." said Hinata and sounded very ironic.
Xena grinned. "Yes, of course I wanted it, but it was still outrageous!"Aika nodded, but didn't even know what it was about.
She didn't think anymore, her head was empty. She and Xena said goodbye and went home.
Aika was dreaming today too.
But not from the boy with red, short hair, but from one with dark, long hair.
